Abstract
Description
Drosseln, Transformatoren und ähnliche elektrische Bauteile erfordern eine Anschlussklemmeinrichtung, über die deren Wicklung mit einer äusseren Verdrahtung zu verbinden ist. Hierzu ist es bekannt, die Wicklungsenden des elektrischen Bauteils an einer Gehäusefläche herauszuführen und auf einen Kunststofffortsatz aufzulegen. Anschliessend wird der auf dem Kunststofffortsatz liegende Draht mit einer Hülse verstärkt, die mit dem Draht verkrimpt wird. Hierdurch entsteht ein zapfenförmiges Anschlusselement, das verhältnismässig steif ist und von der betreffenden Gehäusefläche rechtwinklig absteht. Das Anschlusselement weist in seinem vorderen Bereich einen Abschnitt mit konstantem Durchmesser auf.Chokes, transformers and similar electrical components require a terminal device to connect their winding to an external wiring. For this purpose, it is known to lead out the winding ends of the electrical component on a housing surface and hang up on a plastic filing. Subsequently, the wire lying on the plastic filament is reinforced with a sleeve, which is crimped with the wire. This creates a pin-shaped connection element which is relatively stiff and protrudes at right angles from the respective housing surface. The connecting element has a section with a constant diameter in its front region.
Die aus der Praxis bekannte Anschlussklemmeinrichtung besteht aus einem Gehäuse, in dem für jedes Anschlusselement, das zu kontaktieren ist, zwei Aufnahmeräume ausgebildet sind. Der eine Aufnahmeraum dient der Aufnahme des Anschlusselements, während der andere Aufnahmeraum ein plattenförmiges Kontaktglied enthält. Die beiden Aufnahmeräume durchsetzen einander. Im Schnittbereich der beiden Aufnahmeräume enthält das plattenförmige Kontaktglied eine etwa sternförmige Öffnung.The connection clamping device known from practice consists of a housing in which two receiving spaces are formed for each connecting element which is to be contacted. The one receiving space serves to receive the connection element, while the other receiving space contains a plate-shaped contact member. The two recording rooms enforce each other. In the intersection of the two receiving spaces, the plate-shaped contact member includes an approximately star-shaped opening.
Die Anschlussklemmeinrichtung ist vormontiert und enthält in dem betreffenden Aufnahmeraum für jedes Anschlusselement ein solche Kontaktglied. Die entsprechende vorbereitete Anschlussklemmeinrichtung wird bei der Montage mit dem Bauteil auf die zapfenförmigen Anschlusselemente aufgesteckt, wobei die dort vorhandene gekrimpte Hülse die zugehörige konturierte Öffnung durchdringt. Die am Öffnungsrand vorhandenen Zacken sollen für einen dauerhaften Kontakt sorgen.The terminal device is preassembled and contains in the respective receiving space for each connection element such a contact member. The corresponding prepared terminal clamp is attached during assembly with the component on the pin-shaped connection elements, wherein the existing there crimped sleeve penetrates the associated contoured opening. The pips at the opening edge should provide for a permanent contact.
Bei einem Aufstecken der Anschlussklemmeinrichtung ist nicht immer eine Beschädigung der Ausschlusselemente auszuschliessen. Ausserdem wird beim Aufstecken Metall abgetragen, so dass die Anpresskraft auch nicht immer ausreichend ist. Letzteres beeinträchtigt die Langzeitlebensdauer.When attaching the terminal device is not always exclude damage to the exclusion elements. In addition, when removing metal is removed, so that the contact pressure is not always sufficient. The latter affects the long-term life.
Das bekannte Anschlusselement trägt weiterhin Schneidklemmkontakte, über die die äussere Verdrahtung anzuschliessen ist. Die Schneidklemmkontakte werden in einer automatischen Verdrahtungsmaschine belegt.The known connection element further carries insulation displacement contacts, via which the external wiring is to be connected. The insulation displacement contacts are used in an automatic wiring machine.
Für die Verdrahtung von Hand sind Federklemmeinrichtungen vorhanden, in die abisolierten Drahtenden ohne Werkzeug einzustecken sind.For wiring by hand spring clamps are available, in the stripped wire ends are to be inserted without tools.
Die
Ausgehend hiervon ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung eine Anschlussklemmeinrichtung zu schaffen, die in einer anderen Weise das Kontaktglied mit dem Anschlusselement des Gerätes oder Bauteils verbindet.Proceeding from this, it is an object of the invention to provide a terminal device which connects the contact member with the connection element of the device or component in a different manner.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Anschlussklemmeinrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the terminal device with the features of
Wie beim Stand der Technik wird ein aus Isolierstoff bestehendes Gehäuse verwendet, das je Pol zwei Aufnahmeräume aufweist. Die beiden Aufnahmeräume schneiden sich etwa rechtwinklig und durchsetzen einander. In dem einen Aufnahmeraum sitzt das Kontaktglied, während der andere Aufnahmeraum zum Einstecken des zapfenförmigen Anschlusselementes vorgesehen ist.As in the prior art, a housing consisting of insulating material is used, which has two receiving spaces per pole. The two receiving spaces intersect approximately at right angles and enforce each other. In the one receiving space sits the contact member, while the other receiving space is provided for insertion of the pin-shaped connection element.
Das Kontaktglied ist mit einem Schneidklemmkontakt versehen, der sich im montierten Zustand an derjenigen Stelle befindet, an der sich die beide Aufnahmeräume kreuzen.The contact member is provided with an insulation displacement contact, which is in the mounted state at the point where the two receiving spaces intersect.
Der Schneidklemmkontakt hat den Vorteil eine größere Kontaktkraft zu erzeugen, die auch über eine lange Zeit aufrecht erhalten bleibt.The insulation displacement contact has the advantage of producing a greater contact force, which is maintained over a long time.
Aufgrund der Montage wird das Material beim Einstecken in dem Klemmschlitz verdrängt und weniger abgeschabt, so dass eine hohe Kontaktkraft zustande kommt. Beim Zusammenstecken wird das Material gegebenenfalls bis zu Fließgrenze verformt. Es kommt ein hinreichend großflächiger dauerhafter Kontakt zustande.Due to the assembly, the material is displaced during insertion in the clamping slot and scraped less, so that a high contact force is achieved. When plugged together, the material may be deformed to the yield point. There is a sufficiently large-scale permanent contact.
Bei der Montage der neuen Anschlussklemmeinrichtung wird zunächst das Isolierstoffgehäuse auf das zu kontaktierende Bauteil aufgesetzt, wobei dessen zapfenförmige Anschlusselemente in den betreffenden Aufnahmeraum eindringen, und zwar bis in einen Bereich jenseits des Schnittpunktes der beiden Aufnahmeräume. Sodann wird das Kontaktglied in den betreffenden Aufnahmeraum in einer Schiebebewegung eingepresst, wobei der Schneidklemmschlitz mit seinen Rändern beidseitig das Anschlusselement übergreift und zwischen seinen Rändern einklemmt. Eventuell vorhandene Oxidschichten, Lackschichten oder sonstige Verunreinigungen werden wirkungsvoll abgestreift. Es wird eine sehr feste Verbindung zwischen dem Kontaktglied und dem Anschlusselement erhalten.When mounting the new terminal device, the insulating material housing is first placed on the component to be contacted, wherein the pin-shaped connection elements penetrate into the respective receiving space, and indeed into a region beyond the intersection of the two receiving spaces. Then, the contact member is pressed into the respective receiving space in a sliding movement, wherein the insulation displacement slot engages with its edges on both sides of the connecting element and clamped between its edges. Any existing oxide layers, paint layers or other impurities are effectively stripped off. There is obtained a very strong connection between the contact member and the connection element.
Das Anschlusselement des elektrischen Bauteils wird beim Kontaktieren praktisch nicht auf Knick belastet, weil es sich auf einer entsprechenden Auflagefläche in dem Isolierstoffgehäuse auflegen kann. Diese Auflagefläche wirkt gleichsam als Amboss und unterstützt das Anschlusselement gegenüber der Wirkungsrichtung der Kraft. Dadurch ist das Anschlusselement wirksam gegen Abknicken geschützt.The connection element of the electrical component is practically not loaded during contact to kink, because it can hang up on a corresponding bearing surface in the insulating material. This bearing surface acts as an anvil and supports the connecting element with respect to the direction of action of the force. As a result, the connection element is effectively protected against kinking.
Das Aufsetzen der Anschlussklemmeinrichtung wird erleichtert, wenn der erste Aufnahmeraum sich zur Rückseite hin trichterförmig erweitert. Dadurch wird das Einfädeln des Anschlusselementes vereinfacht.The placement of the terminal device is facilitated when the first receiving space widens in a funnel shape toward the rear. As a result, the threading of the connection element is simplified.
Ein Verschließen des ersten Aufnahmeraums zur Vorderseite hin, verhindert das Risiko einer unerwünschten Kontaktierung. Zweckmäßigerweise ist der erste Aufnahmeraum in seinem Querschnitt weitgehend an den Querschnitt des zu kontaktierenden Anschlusselementes angepasst, derart, dass das Anschlusselement mit geringem Spiel in den Aufnahmeraum passt. Hierdurch wird die oben erwähnte Unterstützung beim Aufpressen des Kontaktgliedes erreicht.Closing the first receiving space to the front side prevents the risk of undesired contacting. Advantageously, the first receiving space in its cross section is largely adapted to the cross section of the contact element to be contacted, such that the connecting element fits into the receiving space with little play. As a result, the above-mentioned assistance in pressing the contact member is achieved.
Der zweite Aufnahmeraum ist im Wesentlichen an den Querschnitt des Kontaktgliedes an der jeweiligen Stelle angepasst. Er ist zumindest angenähert schachtförmig und zu mindest in einem weiteren Abschnitt parallelflankig, um eine gute Seitenführung des Kontaktgliedes, zu gewährleisten, wenigstens im Bereich der Kontaktstelle mit dem Kontaktelement.The second receiving space is substantially adapted to the cross section of the contact member at the respective location. It is at least approximately shaft-shaped and parallelflankig at least in another section to ensure good lateral guidance of the contact member, at least in the region of the contact point with the contact element.
Auch der zweite Aufnahmeraum ist zweckmäßigerweise sackförmig, d.h. in diesem Fall zur Unterseite des Isolierstoffgehäuses verschlossen.Also, the second receiving space is suitably bag-shaped, i. closed in this case to the bottom of the insulating material.
Das Material des Kontaktgliedes ist in der üblichen Weise gewählt und besteht beispielsweise aus Hartmessing.The material of the contact member is chosen in the usual way and consists for example of hard brass.
Das Gehäuse kann mit zusätzlichen mechanischen Verankerungseinrichtungen versehen sein, um eine zusätzliche mechanische Verbindung mit dem zu kontaktierten Gerät oder Bauteil herzustellen.The housing may be provided with additional mechanical anchoring means to provide additional mechanical connection to the device or component to be contacted.
Wenn das Kontaktglied mit auskragenden Kontaktmitteln, beispielsweise einer Federklemmeinrichtung, versehen ist, enthält der zweite Aufnahmeraum zweckmäßigerweise Erweiterungen, die zur Oberseite des Gehäuses hin offen sind.If the contact member is provided with projecting contact means, such as a spring clamp, the second receiving space expediently includes extensions that are open to the top of the housing.
In diesem Falle werden Rippen verwendet, die zwischen sich eine Nut begrenzen, um über eine möglichst weite Strecke eine präzise Führung des Kontaktgliedes zu gewährleisten.In this case, ribs are used, which define a groove between them, in order to ensure over a distance as far as possible a precise guidance of the contact member.
Das Kontaktglied ist zumindest im Bereich des Schneidklemmschlitzes plattenförmig ausgebildet, wobei der Schlitz von einer kurzen Randkante her sich in das Kontaktglied erstreckt.The contact member is plate-shaped at least in the region of the insulation displacement slot, the slot extending from a short peripheral edge into the contact member.
Im einfachsten Falle ist das Kontaktglied über die gesamte Fläche bzw. Länge im Wesentlichen plattenförmig. Oberhalb des Schneidklemmkontaktes können zusätzliche Federklemmeinrichtungen vorgesehen sein. Diese umfassen wenigstens eine aus dem Kontaktglied ausgeklinkte Lasche, der eine freie Kante einer Federzunge gegenüber steht, die an dem Kontaktglied verankert ist.In the simplest case, the contact member over the entire surface or length is substantially plate-shaped. Above the insulation displacement contact additional spring clamping devices can be provided. These comprise at least one lug which is notched out of the contact member and which faces a free edge of a spring tongue which is anchored to the contact member.
Im übrigen sind Weiterbildungen Gegenstand von Unteransprüchen. Dabei sollen auch solche Kombinationen als beansprucht angesehen werden, auf die kein ausdrückliches Ausführungsbeispiel gerichtet ist.Moreover, further developments are the subject of dependent claims. In this case, such combinations are to be regarded as claimed, to which no express embodiment is directed.

Die nachfolgende Beschreibung beschränkt sich auf die Erläuterung der Gestaltung eines der Pole. Es ist klar, dass der andere Pol in der entsprechenden Weise gestaltet ist.The following description is limited to the explanation of the configuration of one of the poles. It is clear that the other pole is designed in the appropriate way.
Das quaderförmige Isolierstoffgehäuse 4 wird von sechs Seiten begrenzt. Zur Vereinfachung der Erläuterung wird folgende willkürliche Bezeichnung verwendet, die nicht einschränkend ist: Eine dem Vorschaltgerät 2 zugekehrte Seite wird als die Rückseite 6 bezeichnet, eine parallel dazu verlaufende Seite 7 als Vorderseite, die in
In dem Isolierstoffgehäuse 4 sind pro Pol ein erster Aufnahmeraum 11 und ein zweiter Aufnahmeraum 12 enthalten. Beide Aufnahmeräume 11, 12 sind einends geschlossen und zu der Rückseite 6 bzw. der Oberseite 8 hin offen.In the insulating 4 are per pole a
Der erste Aufnahmeraum 11 setzt sich aus einem ersten Abschnitt 13 zusammen, der über Länge gesehen einen konstanten Querschnitt aufweist und zu der Unterseite 9 hin gelegen eine Auflagefläche 14 für das zapfenartige Anschlusselement 3 bildet. Der Abschnitt 13 ist sackförmig und öffnet sich in Richtung auf die Rückseite 6.The
Der Querschnitt des Abschnittes 13, des ersten Aufnahmeraums ist konstant rechteckig und so gewählt, dass das zapfenartige Anschlusselement 3 darin mit hinreichendem Spiel Platz findet. Das Spiel ist ausreichend bemessen, damit Fertigungstoleranzen hinsichtlich des Abstandes, den in die Anschlusselemente 3 voneinander haben, nicht zu irgendwelchen Zwängen bei der Montage führen. Auch Geradheitsfehler an dem zapfenartigen Anschlusselement 3 werden von dem Spiel, das das Abschlusselement 3 in dem Abschnitt 13 hat, aufgenommen.The cross-section of the
Etwas in der Mitte, bezogen auf den Abstand zwischen der Ober- und der Rückseite 6, 7 geht der erste Aufnahmeraum 11 in eine trichterförmige Erweiterung 15 über, die in der Rückseite 6 mündet. Die trichterförmige Erweiterung ist in der Rückansicht, wie sie in
Der zweite Aufnahmeraum 12 ist zumindest in seinem unteren Bereich, spalt- oder schachtförmig und so angeordnet, dass er den ersten Aufnahmeraum 11 rechtwinklig schneidet. Die beide Aufnahmeräume 11 und 12 durchsetzen einander an jener Stelle, an der der erste Aufnahmeraum 11 von seinem Abschnitt 13 mit konstantem Querschnitt in den trichterförmigen Abschnitt 15 übergeht.The
Der erste Aufnahmeraum 12 weist im unteren Bereich einen rechteckigen Querschnitt auf, wobei die größere Kantenlänge zu der Vorder- bzw. der Rückseite 6, 7 parallel verläuft.The
Zumindest der untere Bereich des ersten Aufnahmeraumes 12, wird von einer glatten Rückwand 16, einer dazu parallelen glatten Vorderwand 17 sowie zwei schmalen Seitenwänden 18 und 19 begrenzt. Die Rückwand 16 reicht bis oberhalb der trichterförmigen Erweiterung 15. Oberhalb der trichterförmigen Erweiterung 15 ist der Aufnahmeraum 12 mit einer Erweiterung 21 versehen, die zu der Rückseite 6 hin gelegen ist. Die Erweiterung 21 ist über eine Zwischenwand 22 von der trichterförmigen Erweiterung 15 abgetrennt. Im Bereich der Erweiterung 21 setzt sich in
Die Rippe 23 hat von der Vorderwand 17 einen Abstand, derart, dass sich eine Nut ergibt, die die selbe Weite hat, wie der Abstand zwischen der Vorderwand 17 und der Rückwand 16 des ersten Aufnahmeraums 12.The
Etwa auf der halben Höhe des Isolierstoffgehäuses 4 öffnet sich der erste Aufnahmeraum 12 in einer Nut 24 zu der Vorderseite 7. Von den seitlichen Wänden dieser Nut 24 steht eine Rippe 25 vor, die der Rippe 23 gegenüber liegt und von der eine Rippenwand eine Verlängerung der Vorderwand 17 darstellt.Approximately half the height of the insulating housing 4, the

Unterhalb der Nut 24 ist das Isolierstoffgehäuse 4 schließlich noch mit zwei trichterförmigen Bohrungen 26 versehen, die von der Vorderseite 7 bis in den zweiten Aufnahmeraum 12 reichen. Die beiden Bohrungen 26 befinden sich auf gleicher Höhe gegenüber der Unterseite 9 und verjüngen sich in Richtung auf den zweiten Aufnahmeraum 12.Below the
Das Kontaktglied 5 besteht aus einem Messingblechstreifen mit einer Vorder- und einer Rückseite 28, 29, zwei langen schmalen Kanten 31, 32 sowie zwei kurzen schmalen Kanten 33, 34. Die schmalen Kanten 31,...34 verlaufen paarweise zueinander parallel.The
Ausgehend von der kurzen Kante 33 führt in das Kontaktglied eine erster Schneidklemmschlitz 35, der zum Anschluss einer äußeren Verdrahtung vorgesehen ist. Ein weiterer Schneidklemmschlitz 36 geht von der unteren schmalen Kante 34 aus und erstreckt sich ein Stück weit in Richtung auf die gegenüberliegende schmale Kante 33. Die Schneidklemmschlitze 35, 36 erstrecken sich parallel zu den langen schmalen Kanten 31, 32.Starting from the
Die Abmessungen der Schneidklemmschlitze 35 und 36 ergeben sich im übrigen aus der nachstehenden Funktionsbeschreibung. Die Tiefe des Schneidklemmschlitzes 36 entspricht etwa der Höhe des ersten Aufnahmeraumes 12, gemessen ab dessen Boden, bis oberhalb der Kreuzungsstelle mit dem zweiten Aufnahmeraum 13.The dimensions of the insulation displacement slits 35 and 36 result in the rest of the following functional description. The depth of the
Aus dem Kontaktglied 5 sind zwei Laschen 37 und 38 ausgeschnitten und abgebogen. Sie hinterlassen unterhalb zwei rechteckige Öffnungen 39 und 41, die in
Auf der Rückseite des Kontaktglieds 5 ist eine als Blattfeder ausgebildete Kontaktfeder 42 bei 43 aufgenietet. Oberhalb der Nietstelle ist die Feder 42 mittels eines Schlitzes 44 teilweise eingeschlitzt, wodurch zwei Federzungen 45 und 46 entstehen. Die Federzungen 45 und 46 stoßen mit ihrer freien Kante an der nach unten zeigenden Flachseite der betreffenden Lasche 37 bzw. 38 auf. Es ergibt sich die in
Auf diese Weise divergieren die Kontaktfederzungen 45, und 46 ausgehend von ihrer Wurzel in Richtung auf die Lasche 37 bzw. 38 gegenüber der Rückseite 29.In this way, the
Die Handhabung und Montage der beschriebenen Anschlussklemmeinrichtung 1 ist wie folgt:The handling and assembly of the described
In ein vorgefertigtes Isolierstoffgehäuse 4 wird je Pol jeweils ein Kontaktglied 5 von der Oberseite 8 her eingesteckt. Die langen schmalen Kanten 31 und 32 werden dabei in der Nut zwischen den Rippen 23 und 25 jedes ersten Aufnahmeraums 12 geführt. Die Orientierung des Kontaktgliedes 5 in dem Isolierstoffgehäuse 4 ist derart, dass die kurze schmale Kante 34 mit dem Schneidklemmschlitz 36 in Richtung auf die Unterseite zeigt, während die Laschen 37 und 38 zu der Rückeseite 6 hin ausgerichtet sind.In a prefabricated Isolierstoffgehäuse 4 a
Die Abmessungen zwischen dem Kontaktglied 5 und den seitlichen Abmessungen des zweiten Aufnahmeraums 12 sind derart gewählt, dass das Kontaktglied 5 leicht zwischen seinen beiden langen schmalen Kanten 31 und 32 eingeklemmt gehalten wird. Auf diese Weise wird ein Hineinfallen des Kontaktglieds 5 aufgrund seines Eigengewichts in das Isolierstoffgehäuse 4 verhindert.The dimensions between the

Das Anschlusselement 3 liegt auf der Auflagefläche 14 auf.The
Sobald diese Position erreicht ist, wird mit einem Werkzeug unter Krafteinsatz das betreffende Kontaktglied vollständig in das Isolierstoffgehäuse 4 eingedrückt. Es bewegt sich wie ein Schieber in einem Gehäuse. Dabei gleitet der Schneidklemmschlitz 36 über das Anschlusselement 3, das im Bereich des Schneidklemmschlitzes 36 entsprechend verformt wird.As soon as this position has been reached, the relevant contact element is pressed completely into the insulating material housing 4 with a tool with the use of force. It moves like a slider in a housing. In this case, the
Das Einschieben des Kontaktgliedes 5 ist beendet, sobald es mit der kurzen schmalen Kante 34 auf dem Boden des zweiten Aufnahmeraums 12 aufsteht. In dieser Stellung hat der Grund des Schneidklemmschlitzes 36 das Anschlusselement 3 noch nicht berührt. Es wird lediglich zwischen den einander gegenüberstehenden seitlichen Flanken des Schneidklemmschlitzes 36 eingezwängt.The insertion of the
